Puppies that can jump rope seem cool or whatever, but shouldn't we be teaching young dogs more marketable skills, especially in this economy? It's super irresponsible for dog owners to keep teaching dogs how to high-five, roll over, fetch, get beer from the fridge (this, btw, is a horrible, disaster-riddled idea so just don't have it), and catching a Frisbee...with its paws. These frivolous, some might even say "liberal arts," skills do not an efficient, dehumanizing society make — we would do better to have all these dogs go to trade school and learn how to rebuild the very complicated, oil-guzzling engine that drives the American economy.
